TBR Thursday

TBR Thursday is as usual a meme I cannot figure out who's hosting, but I am still doing it, since I think it is interesting!

But if you want to join just see how many books there are on your TBR list and then go to random.org and get a random number. Then you see which book has that number and tell people about it! If you leave a link in the comments I will check it out!

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.

When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.

This book sounds so intriguing, I love the world in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, so this will be perfect, I believe me and Jayd will read this in August - but I am sure that we will read it in 2014!
